how have i not noticed this thread before? this is my first time posting in it! i'm only over 6000 pages late

More likely, one day this thread will cause a stack overflow error and destroy the forum.

On the old forum software, it would have already broken everything.

Will Happy Thread ever be rebooted?

[Aklyon]

This thread comprises 1/40th of the entire forum. Mamma mia.

Of course it does, we need to have a thread longer then the homestuck one for obvious reasons.

I guess that means everyone's happy in Bay12 or they don't really talk about sad/terrified/WTF feelings?

[freeformschooler]

Well, a lot of this thread is pretty mindless non-discussion posts (as opposed to much of the rage/sad thread topics). That probably contributes to it.

[Flying Dice]

This has sort of been the catch-all thread for the random links and things that don't really merit a thread of their own, and which would otherwise be derailing something else.

[Gunner-Chan]

It's also the oldest thread like this I'm sure. As far as I know at least. I guess the environment in here being a bit less about worrying if you should really be posting in here or not (I see a lot of posts in those threads about people guessing or second guessing their posts, which is just weird) so it also collects a lot of posts for that reason I'm sure.

Will Happy Thread ever be rebooted?

I actually can't imagine this topic would outright need a reboot. Unless it did get so big things caused errors on the forum.

Well, in a lot of places, there's a 100-page (by forum default) limit on threads, and when the first one hits that they kill it and start a new one. Not quite sure why, but that would put this into the hundredth or so generation.

The only place I've seen that is GameFAQs which uses a custom forum software as unique as it is loathesome.

The Bethsoft forums used to use a 200 post limit. IIRC it was due to older software breaking much past that, so they put the limit in place and never bothered removing it.

But reboots are all the rage these days. We could redo the origin story, show the Happy thread as a plucky young child who just wants to make everyone's days better while always getting picked on by the Rage thread, played by Hugh Jackman.

We could even release it in 3D this time.

I think the MSPA forums does it, so there's that. :/

This thread is basically the General Discussion area of the General Discussion board.

... yeah

[MagmaMcFry]

Then how can it get derailed?
